There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-rt-modules-partner.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-modules-partner package and not the kernel-rt-modules-partner package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing: Consider the NULL character when validating the event length

strlen() returns a string length excluding the null byte. If the string length equals to the maximum buffer length, the buffer will have no space for the NULL terminating character.

This commit checks this condition and returns failure for it.
